It really depends on the kennel. I know of a kennel that they have 3 breeds. 2 dogs each and live in a metal building with central heat and air. They have their own 5x5 cages and seperate bowls. They have runs and go out daily. They are very well taken care of. Like i said it depends on the kennel..NOW a puppy mill i want to stay in a good mood so im not even going to go there!!!
